Bus holding control is challenging due to stochastic traffic and passenger demand. While deep reinforcement learning (DRL) shows promise, standard actor-critic algorithms suffer from Q-value instability in volatile environments. A key source of this instability is the conflation of two distinct uncertainties: aleatoric uncertainty (irreducible noise) and epistemic uncertainty (data insufficiency). Treating these as a single risk leads to value underestimation in noisy states, causing catastrophic policy collapse. We propose a robust ensemble soft actor-critic (RE-SAC) framework to explicitly disentangle these uncertainties. RE-SAC applies Integral Probability Metric (IPM)-based weight regularization to the critic network to hedge against aleatoric risk, providing a smooth analytical lower bound for the robust Bellman operator without expensive inner-loop perturbations. To address epistemic risk, a diversified Q-ensemble penalizes overconfident value estimates in sparsely covered regions. This dual mechanism prevents the ensemble variance from misidentifying noise as a data gap, a failure mode identified in our ablation study. Experiments in a realistic bidirectional bus corridor simulation demonstrate that RE-SAC achieves the highest cumulative reward (approx. -0.4e6) compared to vanilla SAC (-0.55e6). Mahalanobis rareness analysis confirms that RE-SAC reduces Oracle Q-value estimation error by up to 62% in rare out-of-distribution states (MAE of 1647 vs. 4343), demonstrating superior robustness under high traffic variability.
